INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 331, llti llliab Application filed March 2?, 1912. Serial No. ceases.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that We, TAYLOR, acitizen of the United States, and BOUDEWIJN B. Nnn'rnnoon, a subject of the Queen of the Netherlands, residing at Detroit, county of "Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Internal-Combustion Engines, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form apart of this specification.

Our invention relates to internal c0mbustion engines and an object of our improvements is to provide an improved engine and one which may be easily, neatly "and cheaply constructed and assembled. lVe secure this object in the engine' illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,-

Figure 1, is a vertical section of a part of a four-cylinder internal combustion engine embodying our invention. Fig. 2., is a sec tional plan view the section being taken in the 'planeindicated by the line 2-2 Fig. 1. Fig. 3, is a section on the broken line M- PAC- l Fig. 2.

A, is the crank case.

B B indicate the cylinders.

C, is the main shaft.

D, D is a casing closing the end of the gear casing A. and provided with a bearing for the shaft C.

E E is an integral head adapted to fit upon the upper ends of the cylinders B B, its lower surface bein in a single plane, the upper ends of the cylinders being also in a single. plane, the head B being adapted to fit against the ends of the cylinders to make a tight joint. The head E is cored out to form a water jacket F F F F F having its exit passage at J. v

(his the intake passage for the explosivev mixture. This communicates with branches 9 5] communicating with apertures a a a at opening into therespective cylinders.

11, is th'c exhaust passage which extends in branches h h h h which branches con municate with ports or apertures d cl (5 al opening from the 7 There are passages f f f f (Fig. 3} passing above and below the passages g g and it it /l h.

The head E isprovided with apertures GEcIL HAMELIN the planed lower surface oi and its thorough mixing wi ceiving paclting material,

respective cylinders.-

ports is are so located that they shall register .1

with ports a and d as the valve disks K. are rotated. W hen a port is registers the port a one or the cylinders is into communication with the intake passage U registers with aperand when said port to the exhaust ture a} a cylinder is opened passage H.

M. (Fig. l) is a gear wheel upon the main shaft C, the teeth. of which engage a gear wheel N which in turn engages a gear wheel 0 at the lower end of a vertical shaft P, which shaft passes through an aperture or bearing 7) in the head E and is adapted to turn therein. Theshaft P is prov ded with a ball bearing 0 at its lower end.

The ends of the passages G H open down-- ward and are in the same plane as the lower surface of the head lil so that the whole lower surface of the head and these passages may be faced off at one operation. The apertures or bearings for the shaft l L and r are all parallel and are easily accessible so that they may be finish-ed at one operation.

It will be observed that the cooling water will rise through the apertures i adjacent to the exhaust passages it it 15. so to keep the walls oi said passages cool and is then distributed in the water jacket of the head E and around the branches {1 g of the intake passage so as to supply i"ttt for the thorough vaporization of the h}; ocarbon air.

is a groove between TA sur: faces of the head E and cylinders for re' said groove er.- tends between the passages e c and the bores of the cylinders.

W hat We claim is:--

l. in an internal combustion motor, the combination of a ,y raole head for said cylinder, said cylinder and head being provided with engaging surthe apertures 0 being so through its lower planed serfaces lying in one plane, said head being provided with a gas conduit having its outer end opening downward and terminating in the plane of the engaging surface of the head.

2. In an internal combustion motor, a cyliinder having its end formed to receive a head, an integral separable head having a planed surface to fit against the end of said cylinder to form a joint, said head being provided with a passage opening to the cylinder and having the surface surrounding the passage at it's outer end in the same plane as said surface of the head.

3. In an internal combustion engine, a

cylinder, a separable head for said cylinder provided with intake and exhaust passages, a water acket in said head surroundmg one of said passages, said Water jacket having an opening therefrom, acylinder having a water jacket having an opening therefrom, the openingfrom the water jacket in said separable head being adapted to register with the opening in the Water jacket of the cylinder to form a water passage, a water receiving groove 6 in the joining surfaces of said cylinder and head located between the bore of said cylinder and said water passage,

In testimony whereof, we sign this specification in the presence of two Witnesses.
